Problems with BladeCenter® shared
resources might appear to be in the blade server, but might actually
be a problem in a BladeCenter unit
network connection resource.
To check the general function of shared BladeCenter network connection resources,
perform the following procedure.
- Verify that the network cables are securely connected to
the I/O module.
- Verify that the network cables are securely connected to
the I/O module.
- Verify that the power configuration of the BladeCenter unit supports the I/O module
configuration.
- Verify that the installation of the I/O-module type is
supported by the BladeCenter unit
and blade server hardware.
- Verify that the I/O modules for the network interface are
installed in the correct BladeCenter bays.
- Verify that the I/O modules for the network interface are
configured correctly.
- Verify that the settings in the I/O module are correct
for the blade server. Some settings in the I/O module are specifically
for each blade server.
- Verify that the I/O modules for the network interface are
operating correctly.
Troubleshoot and replace the I/O
module as indicated in the documentation for the I/O module.
- Verify that the management module is operating correctly.
